EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mecanisme de la physionomie humaine Figure 45" showcases the powerful emotions of pain and hope. Captured in 1856 by Guillaume-Benjamin-Amand Duchenne (de Boulogne) and Adrien Tournachon, this albumen print from a glass plate negative offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of human facial expressions. In this particular image, we witness the intense contraction of the triangular muscles around the lips and eyebrows, revealing both physical agony and a glimmer of optimism. The subjects' faces are contorted with pain, yet there is an undeniable sense of resilience shining through their eyes. Duchenne's groundbreaking research on electromyography allowed him to stimulate specific facial muscles using electric currents, enabling him to study various emotional states. This photograph serves as a testament to his pioneering work in understanding the connection between our innermost feelings and external expressions. Printed in 1862, this oval-shaped opening measures approximately 16.2 x 11.9 cm within its larger mount measuring 41.2 x 27.4 cm. The monochromatic tones add depth to the composition while emphasizing every nuanced detail captured by these talented French photographers. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let your imagination wander through time as it delves into the depths of human emotion - pain intertwined with hope - frozen forever within this mesmerizing image.
